As a Turkish Immigrant in London, you come across many interesting conversations when you hang out in Turkish cafes, restaurants, famous social clubs..
Here is the example of a real conversation I heard while sipping my cappuccino looking flat white in one of the Turkish places in Hackney. It's about their work. So you guys should understand that immigrants work hard.. very hard..
A-I am fed up with my boss man.. he is taking a piss..
B- Whats his problem.?
A-I told him that I need more hours but instead, he cut my hours to 70 a week.
B- Man, you used to do 80 hours a week. Why he cut your hours to 70?
A- Cause he says business is slow but I need at least 90 hours a week so I can save some money.
B- Just tell him man. They just trying you. Once I asked my boss for a pay rise. He said NO!. I told him if he doesn't give me £2 pound an hour instead of £1.80 I said I am going to quit. He was moaning but he start to give me £2 now. So you gotta be strong man.
A- Yeah man, He is taking a piss. I need at least 90 hours a week so I can save some money and open my own take -away kebab shop in 5 years time.
B- Soon man. I will buy a kebab van soon. Good money and fewer hours.. you only open 7 days a week but you don't have to open before 10 AM.
